GA Need Your help on Turbo Info

Alright so yes im a noob to the rotary world but ever since i got mine i love it.Screw pistons no matter how many. But back to the topic.I have an NA 6 port but i wanna turbo.Now ive read that its not as good as a 4 port turbo but money is tight,so what i wanted to know is what problems would i have puttin the stock turbo of an S4 on my 6 port.And if its okay to just put it in.As in no worrys about the seals and o rings being blown and Sh!+.Id appreciate any help i can get. To be more specific bout my ride its an 87 rx7 manual NA with 5th and 6th port always open.All Block off plates.Straight pipe and 550cc primary and 750cc secondary.It was rebuilt like 11k ago.Well thanks.

Well your at a good start with the injectors and block off plates. If you can come up with a FMIC, the turbo pressure sensor, and the turbo ecu, you can do it. I wouldn't run it above 6psi as thats going to be pushing some pretty good power as it is.

Please keep in mind, the 6-port was never made for boost and is a high compression motor. Don't be suprised if that motor pops within 10k of you boosting it.

Also going to need the turbo AFM, and either the turbo intakes, or you're going to need to do a lot of custom fabrication to get the turbo to clear the NA intakes. Oh, and if you do the Turbo intakes you're going to need to modify the lower one to fit the 6 ports.

Do a search for 6-port turbo, also check out AaronCake's website for his project Tina. http://www.aaroncake.net/RX-7/projecttina/index.html

If you say money is tight then dont bother. In the end your going to be close to spending as much money as a T2 swap cost.

Why does your NA have 550cc primaries and 750cc secondaries? I hope you have something to seriously reduce the duty cycles (SAFC, etc...) or you're just drowning the engine in fuel. Stock 460cc injectors are all you need.
